Editorial policy

Every news piece carries a visible seal answering one question: is this a fact or a possibility? We use four, and only four:

Confirmed: stated by Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or an official company channel. Verifiable in the source we cite.

Report: published by an outlet with a track record and its own sourcing, but not confirmed by the company. It may be true; it may not.

Rumour: circulating in the community, or from sources without a verifiable track record. We cover it when it matters, labelled for what it is.

Debunked: shown to be false. The piece is not deleted: it stays with the seal changed, because a debunking is only useful if the people who read the false claim can find it.

A piece without a seal is a piece with no claim to seal (a round-up, a summary). If it asserts something, it carries a seal.

Every piece publishes the list of sources consulted, visible to the reader rather than buried as metadata. For each source we record the outlet or organisation, the direct link, the date we consulted it, and its nature: Official, Press, Creator or Community.

The consultation date matters as much as the link: a source alive today may be gone tomorrow, and saying when we read it is what makes our work checkable over time.

Before publishing, the system checks that the link actually responds, and warns when a source marked official points at a domain that is not.

We are an aggregator: when the information belongs to someone else, so does the credit, and we link to them. What we claim as ours is the writing, the verification and the analysis.

Guides carry no per-piece seal, because a guide mixes dozens of claims. The rule is stricter: every claim falls into one of three categories, and the reader must be able to tell which by reading the sentence, without footnotes.

CONFIRMED: announced by Rockstar. It is canon.

HISTORICAL: not from GTA VI but from the series. Checkable in games already released. Useful for reasoning, not for asserting.

EXPECTATION: our own forecast, written as a forecast.

One practical prohibition follows: a guide does not promise future content. An indexed page answers today with what is known today. That is why our cheats guide opens by explaining why there is no code list yet, instead of pretending it has one.

This rule does not rely on the goodwill of whoever is writing: automated tests fail if a guide is too thin, repeats another guide's questions, or promises what does not exist yet.

When we cover an official broadcast, the event page goes up before the event happens, and while the event has not started it says so out loud: what you see is the shape of the coverage, not the analysis, which does not exist yet.

During the broadcast, each entry is published with the real time it was written. When it ends, the page stays as an archive: it is not deleted or redirected, it simply changes the job it does.

Leaked material obtained through intrusion, theft or breach of a confidentiality agreement. We neither host nor link to it.

Images, video or audio owned by Rockstar Games or Take-Two rehosted on our servers. When we show official material we cite it and attribute it to its source.

Personal data of employees, leakers or community members.

Filler. We prefer a short true section to a long empty one; our own system removes from the index any piece that falls below the minimum of substance.

Leonida Hub is operated by a private individual, not a company. Every piece is signed: with the public profile of whoever wrote it, or with the newsroom byline when the work is the site's editorial team. Either way there is a person behind it who answers for what is published.

The forum belongs to the community and its posts belong to whoever wrote them. Editorial content (news, guides and coverage) is our responsibility, and only users with moderation permissions can publish it.

The owner's identifying details are in the Legal Notice. As a private individual, the tax ID and home address are not published openly: they are provided to the competent authorities or to anyone demonstrating a legitimate interest.

We have no commercial relationship with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and we receive no material, early access or compensation from them.

The pre-order price comparator links to third-party stores. As of today none of those links is an affiliate link: we earn no commission on any purchase. If that ever changes, it will be stated on the link itself and on this page, before it goes live.

Every price we publish carries the date it was checked and the store it came from.

We will get things wrong. When we do, we correct them in the open and keep the history of the correction. The full procedure is on the Corrections page.
